A quoted post from mathematician @prof_g argues that AI is expanding mathematical idea-space faster than people can follow, making it look negatively curved (hyperbolic) rather than clustered around famous conjectures. The upshot, he warns, is lots left to discover but researchers drifting apart and working alone.

• Mathematicians have traditionally clustered around famous conjectures, which the author calls locally positively curved idea-space.
• AI is pushing the boundaries outward quickly, revealing the space as closer to hyperbolic, with more territory the further you go.
• The result: even small separations between people or agents could mean wandering alone, with fewer shared discoveries.
